Robbo & Breaky.
I'd be interested in your opinions as to the comparisons between Norwood's team & Port's premiership team regarding standard, ability & performance.
Whilst in my opinion Norwood were always the better side but were choked down by North, resulting in a very low scoring match.
Enjoyed the contest & venue but sad to see such a great facility come to a close.
Reminded me a lot of Waverley, great place when you got there but a bastard of a place to get out of.

Today around 400 of the Norwood faithful turned up to West End Brewery for the annual unveiling of the team colours on the chimney this year celebrating 60 years a very South Australian tradition.

Channel 7 who take over the coverage of the SANFL are rumoured to be asking for a Saturday Night grand final when it moves to Adelaide Oval next year.

Also a funny foot note to Grand Final Day there has been a raffle going all year to help raise money for community footy in SA called "Greatest Raffle of all time". At 3 Qtr Time in League Grand Final 22 year old officiating field umpire Curtis Deboy was the winner and his name was displayed in the Superscreens at Footy Park. He won a $500,000 home and land package!!!!
